Sounds: Benefits // Strains

There’s nothing like starting the day (or in Australia’s case the night) with a track that rides the line between indie rock and indie folk. This classic 80’s-inspired track from Oz’s finest band, Benefits covers the tenets of a love story gone wrong, with a chorus that is instantly memorable, and dare I say it, catchy.

I can just picture people at the end of the track clapping along in unison to a sold out stadium. Or at the very least, a crowd of drunk Melbourne college students.
